Oil Change International publishes upwards of 20 reports and briefings every year focused on supporting the movement for a just phase-out of fossil fuels.
Big oil and gas companies’ voluntary “Decarbonization Charter,” launched at COP28, is a dangerous distraction from the urgent need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels. New data shows Charter members have approved massive oil and gas expansion plans since signing on.
There is no shortage of public money available for rich countries to pay their fair share on fair terms for climate action at home and abroad. They can mobilize over USD 5.3 trillion per year for the new climate finance target at COP29, international development needs, ensuring fair fossil fuel phase out in their NDCs, and other public goods.
Despite the abundant evidence of carbon capture and fossil hydrogen's failures, the US subsidizes them to the tune of $12 billion - more than any other country.
Prime Minister Keir Stamer paints a bleak picture of the economic situation in the UK, announcing worsening economic and social pressures. The thing is, there is money. It is just being spent on the wrong things. The UK has already spent or committed nearly £500 million on CCS projects since 2010. £168 million of this was spent between 2012 and 2016 on two projects (Peterhead and White Rose) that failed to get off the ground. Policies announced since 2020 have made available £25.26 billion for CCS and hydrogen projects. Only a fraction of this has been committed to date. This is enough to fund the total 2023 winter fuel allowance payout 12 times over.
Japan is promoting a dirty energy strategy across Asia that prioritizes fossil fuel production, putting corporate profits ahead of the people and the planet. This series of leaflets provides a wider audience with easy-to-understand information about Japan and its dangerous distractions.
This is the first factsheet in a forthcoming series that details why fossil gas is dangerous for our planet and our communities in Africa, and how gas acts as a barrier to the energy transition we need for a safe, secure and healthy future.
Gas infrastructure locks in decades of new carbon emissions and slows the transition to clean energy. This fact sheet provides insights into the latest research on achieving fossil-free electricity.
The Mountain Valley Pipeline will not enable U.S. LNG exporters to export more gas to Europe, is not needed in the Southeast, and will increase GHG emissions and make it harder to reach our climate targets. MVP is a false solution looking for a problem. It’s out of date and out of time.
This briefing illustrates how G7 public finance flows remain severely misaligned with climate goals. G7 public finance for fossil fuels between 2018 and 2020 totalled over USD 100 billion, four times its support for renewable energy.
Asia is one of the few remaining growth markets for gas. The fossil fuel industry and its proponents are pushing to develop $379 billion of gas terminals, pipelines and power plants in Asia over the next decade. Roughly three-quarters of all Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals in development globally are planned for Asia. This aggressive buildout ignores a simple truth.
